Zadie Smith has contributed to The New Yorker since 2002. She has published five novels: “White Teeth,” “The Autograph Man,” “On Beauty” (which won the 2006 Orange Prize for Fiction), “NW,” and “Swing Time” (which was long-listed for the 2017 Man Booker Prize). Smith is also the author of the essay collections “Changing My Mind” and, most recently, “Feel Free.”

David Remnick was named the editor of The New Yorker in 1998. He joined the magazine in 1992, after ten years with the Washington Post, where he was a Moscow correspondent. He is the author of several books, including “The Bridge,” “King of the World,” and “Lenin’s Tomb,” for which he received the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction. Under Remnick’s leadership, The New Yorker has become the country’s most honored magazine, winning forty-one National Magazine Awards and, in a first for a magazine, four Pulitzer Prizes.
